At the height of the case, Sebastian found himself facing a decision. He was
torn between his held values of honesty, integrity, and doing what is right and
the challenging reality of his role, in the Kingdom of Sumeria. Despite
encountering warning signs along the way, he remained determined to lead the
telecommunications project in a manner that aligned with his principles.
As Sebastian delved further into the project, he came across an issue within the
$15 million defense procurement document. There were charges amounting to
$2.5 million under a vague description representing a substantial portion of the
project's total value. Sebastian's instincts and moral compass signalled that
something was wrong; these charges appeared far, from legitimate.
With courage, Sebastian decided to act in line with his values. He could not sign
the document and turned a blind eye to the potential wrongdoing. He knew
that pushing further would jeopardize his job and even put his personal safety
at risk in the politically charged environment of Sumeria. Nevertheless, his
commitment to "doing the right thing, even if it costs you your life" prevailed.
Sebastian chose not to give up to the pressure of his senior management
colleagues, who had adeptly produced explanations for the red flags. Instead,
he resolved to investigate further, seeking clarity and transparency in the
project's financials and objectives. He knew that his actions might have
consequences, but he could not abandon his principles.
In the face of moral dilemmas and ethical uncertainty, Sebastian took a
courageous step toward uncovering the truth, aligning his actions with his
deeply ingrained values of integrity and honesty.
